  • Build Your House Upon The Rock

    (Matthew 7:24-29) In this final section of the sermon on the mount Jesus gives the last warning to the people and to us today. When he speaks of building your house upon the rock he is talking about your life. And again in this section he is giving us the key to life and living…

  • Who will go into God’s Kingdom?

    (Matthew 7:21-23)   Jesus tells us in this section of scripture that not everyone will go into God’s Kingdom. There are many who appear to be righteous that will miss out.   It is not enough to call on the name of the Lord to gain entry into God’s Kingdom. Jesus says here that not…

  • Beware of False Prophets and False Teachers

    (Matthew Chapter 7, Verses 15-20) One of the greatest challenges all Christians face when trying to seek out the truth is…who do you believe. Jesus warned us in this section about being careful to spot and avoid false prophets or false teachers. If we choose to follow the wrong teachings from one of these people…

  • Enter by the Narrow Gate

    (Matthew Chapter 7, Verses 13-14) One of the disciples once asked the Lord, “Will those who are saved be few?” (Luke 13:23) The Lord responded saying, “Strive to enter by the narrow door,” and here in this section we see that same teaching being repeated in a slightly different manner. Here the Lord is saying…

  • Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

    (Matthew Chapter 7, Verse 12)In this one verse (vs. 12) the Lord has shown us a summary of what was contained in the Old Covenant law and the words of the prophets. “Whatever you would wish that men would do to you, do so to them.” This one verse provides both an insight into what…

  • Ask and it will be Given, Seek and you will Find, Knock and it will be Opened

    (Matthew Chapter 7, Verses 7-11) Another set of wonderful promises in this section of scripture. Beginning with, “Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened,.” These are such positive messages to the Christian who is really looking for the truth. There is no if, but or…

  • Judge not that you be not Judged

    (Matthew Chapter 7, Verses 1-6) We are called to have a positive relationship with one another as brethren. In any positive relationship there is no judgement of our fellow man. At the start of this chapter Jesus points out that we are not to judge one another. The fundamental principle here is that the basis…

  • Seek First the Kingdom of God and other teachings

    (Matthew Chapter 6, Verses 16-34) Jesus continues his teachings about not doing things to be seen by men in verses 16-17 saying when you fast you should not look dismal, but rather go about your business as if all were normal. Let us look for a moment at the scriptural significance of fasting as it…

  • The Lord’s Prayer and Issues of Seeking Praise from Men

    (Matthew Chapter 6, Verses 1-15) We begin to see Jesus teach about our behaviours in front of others in this section. He tells us that being a Christian is not like a spectator sport. We should not prance about as someone or something important nor do things that draw attention to ourselves. Our aim is…

  • Teachings on the Higher Call of Christ

    (Matthew Chapter 5, Verses 31-48) Continuing on from the previous post, we see verse 31-32 continues the theme of the previous section where Jesus is teaching the elements of the higher call under the New Covenant. In this section he speaks of divorce and it is evident that this is not something to be taken…

  • Salt of the Earth and Jesus Establishes the Standards of Christianity

    (Matthew Chapter 5, Verses 13-30) We see in verse 13 it says, “You are the salt of the earth.” How often do we hear this said as a description of someone who is considered a good person in some way? And yet today salt is often condemned as causing high blood pressure and other cardio-vascular…

  • The Beatitudes

    (Matthew Chapter 5, Verses 1-12) It occurred to me that there is an order to the preaching of the word by Jesus that I had not seen before. In the previous chapter we saw the beginning of his preaching which starts with repentance. Repentance was the focus of John the Baptist’s ministry and also the…
